An Abe LINCOLN s,ory.

Once there was certain king, .
he said. swho kept an astroIoger to
forewarn him of coming events, and
especially to tell him if it was going
to ruin when he wanted to go on
hunting expeditions. One day he
had started for the forest with his
train of ladies and lords for grand
hunt when the train met a farmer
ON the road.
@GOOd morning. farmer" said the
king.
aGood morning, king" said the
farmer, @where are you folks going2''
aHunting," said the king.
.LOrd, you'll get wetl'' said the
farmer.
The king trusted his astrologer,
of course, and went to the forest;
but by midday there came a terrific
storm, that drenehed and buffeted
the whole party. When the king
returned to his palace he had the
astrologer decapitated, and sent for
the farmer to take his place.
LAWS sake" said the farmer
when he arrived, sit amt me that
knows when it is goin' to rain, it's
my donkey. When it's goin' to be
fair weather that donkey always
carries his ears forward, so. When
it's goin' to rain he puts 'em back
ward, So"
'.Make the donkey the court as
trOloger," shouted the king.
sit was done. But the king al
ways declared that the appointment
was the greatest mistake he ever
made in his life.
Lincoln stopped there.
"Why did he say it was a mis-
take?" we asked him. Didn't the
donkey do his duty?"
'Yes," said the President, abut
after that time every donkey in the
country wanted an Office"
The shout of laughter that echoed
from the hotel corridor at the tell
ing of this narrative would have
made the fortune of two or three
entirely new stories.

He Didn'f Count ON the PIaste,
Columbus Courant-


There is young man living in
Columbus, a good looking fellow,
who had a sweetheart out in the
country a few miles, and he spends
two evenings in every week in her
society. a few nightsago he stayed
to the usual hour, and as he passed
ont the front door he discovered
that it was cloudy and dark. He
did not relish the idea of walking
home alone through the gloomy
night, and limited good deal to get
an invitation to remain, but it was
not forthcoming. But the young
man was equal to the emergency.
Going down the steps he artfully
managed to slip to the ground
ThereupOn he quickly set up ire
mendOus groaning. Tneruse worked
admirably. The girl screamed and
the men came and carried the
young man tenderly into the house.
Then he was assisted to undress and
deposited in the spare room. He
had barely began to chuekle over
the success of his stratagem when
the girls mother put in an appear
anee, armed with a mustard plaster
. foot square. This she immedi-
ately proceeded to clasp on the
young mans shoulders, where he
incautiousIy located the damage to
his frame. For two mortal hours
the woman sat by the bed. and was
not satisfied till she beheld a blister
an inch deep. The young man is
now reformed.
